13th - 21stFor me it's going to be a long season, even if we get the bodies in on loan. I think Bowyer's grit and determination will see us stay up, but we will all have to stick together to see this through6
-
Either of the last 2 options, depending on the transfer business before the window closes, and indeed January after the takeover LOL.
Pretty certain we'll be bottom 6 anyway1 -
13th - 21stGot to be just survival for me. I agree that our saving factor is Bowyer and that he will somehow pull it out the bag. The unique dressing room and spirit we have, alongside us fully supporting the boys at The Valley, will just be enough to get us over the line. But it’s going to be very tough.
It’s such a shame because Bowyer is right, if he was able to go and have a go, get players in and manage to compete in the market, my prediction would be play-offs. Instead, we know the situation and Bowyer has to work another miracle to keep us up.1 -

RelegationRock bottom with a points deduction3

13th - 21stWill be happy with 21st regardless of who we get in now - Wont be surprised if Bowyer gets us higher but part of me equally wont be surprised if he struggles as a Manager himself at this level0

7th - 12thGoing for 7th-12th just so that when it happens I look like a total genius rather than an utter chancer10

Play offsIt’s a tough league for every team in it and too many people only seem to be concentrating on the negative issues about Charlton and not giving any consideration to the positives or that every other team in the Championship has issues of their own of one sort or another. We just need to stay in contention by January and then go for it. Take a look at the players we do have, they are more than capable of winning games in this division.7

13th - 21st21.9999th will do me but I can help feeling I'm letting my heart rule my head (and I'm normally fairly pessimistic). I'll see how I feel on the way home from Blackburn and after Stoke to see if I need to revise upwards (I hope)0

13th - 21stHad good vibes about last season and tipped us for top two. With no takeover, this season I cannot see past bottom six.0

RelegationRelying on loanees to come in and keep us up in the championship is a recipe for disaster - we are going down. Good run of form towards the end of the season but we are going to have an awful start

RelegationRelegation.
With Duchatelet remaining as owner and starving Bowyer of funding, we could be in for an embarrassing season. Part of me wishes that Bowyer would tell Duchatelet to stuff his job because he deserves better.4 -

RelegationI see no alternative but relegation given the constraints of the Belgian Bastard.1
-
RelegationI have said relegation simply based on the fact that a midfield (at present) of JFC coming back from injury, 34 yr old Darren Pratley, a guaranteed out injured for half the season Jonny Williams, and basically nobody else wouldn’t get us out League one never mind stay in the Championship.
if we pull a miracle in the next few days I may reconsider0 -
13th - 21stMy vote has been cast in hope that we sign some vaguely competent players in the next few days.0

Play off winnersThe football league is upside down1

13th - 21stbased on our current squad but could all change over the next week0

have to make comparisons with Bolton last year so unless we get new owners and some investment i will have to say rock bottom - sorry ...0

2 1/2 days left to sign them.0 -
13th - 21stWith Bowyer and Jackson at the helm do believe there will be three teams worse than us but only just .0

It might seem blindly optimistic ...... but in truth, the squad isn't even fully assembled yet.
Taking a look back to this time last season, we hadn't even made a loan signing and half of CL were pessimistically saying we'd get relegated or just escape.
It doesn't help that the transfer window 'slams shut' 3 weeks earlier this year, but I imagine next week, the Prem clubs will be looking to fix up loan players moves to the EFL.
Bowyer and Gallen have always held out for the players they want, they did last season - and it paid off handsomely.
I expect a bit of a struggle for the first half a dozen games while new signings bed in and players adapt to the level.
And God only help us if we get struck with an injury crisis. But given a fair wind with injuries, I reckon Bowyer will again assemble a fiercely competitive team greater than its sum of parts - as the season progresses we'll gradually improve and finish with a flourish.
Verdict: We'll do better than many think.

13th - 21stSurvival, just barely and leaving it very late indeed. Not going to be fun, or even positive football, but if there's anyone who can somehow drive a team of has beens and maybes to survive against the odds it's Bowyer - if the owner, fans and players all keep the faith.
In terms of sheer quality we have no chance. It's character and determination that will keep us up if anything does.0 -
13th - 21stI think we'll at least flirt with relegation even if we don't take her home. Bowyer and team spirit may be enough to scrape a few points together but it'll be a struggle and the longer it goes on the harder it will get. LB is a very savvy manager, not a miracle worker.0

13th - 21stMore in hope than expectation but 13th - 21st
May have a different view when the window ends
We really do have the best possible manager for our current situation so get behind them, win more points at home and hopefully we will be ok0 -
RelegationStaying up is our only goal but with the current squad we'll struggle.0
